Movies! I love movies!

I love going to movies! Movies are fun. When I think about new movives, I feel like the dog in the Beggin' Strips commercial, only instead of bacon I'm excited about movies: "Only one thing looks like movies and that's movies!!!" Ok, I don't know if you followed that. Moving on.

So I was reading dlisted, of course, and I see this post about a new John Malkovich movie, which is exciting because he is great. So then of course I started thinking about the new Cohen brothers movie, Burn After Reading, which he is in along with other funny peeps- very exciting, and I can't wait to see it!

And then I remembered that there is another movie coming out that I want to see: Blindness. I obviously cannot recommend the movie since I haven't seen it. However, I read the book and it was exellent. I think my mom and I both read it, maybe the rest of my family did too. A nice review/synopsis here. It is by Jose Saramago, who is a Nobel Prize winner for Literature. It was so good! I tried to read other of his books and could not get through. Although maybe I just did not give it enough time after readin Blindness. I feel like that can sometimes be problematic, to go right to another book by the same author too quickly... you go in expecting something. Anyway, read the book and maybe see the movie! It better not be like Children of Men. The movie tried to be all trixie. It said all the right things and wore all the right clothes to make you believe that it was cool. But it didn't make sense unless you filled in blanks yourself. Which is fine, except I think that the creators thought that they had already filled in the blanks. I didn't really like that movie until I saw the creators and scientist people explaining it afterwards. Good acting, it looked cool, but if you cannot get across what you are trying to say until after it's over and someone explains it to you, not hot.
